Root Explanation

Recommender → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "commendare" (meaning to entrust or recommend). The word refers to someone who recommends or entrusts something to another person again.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'entrusts' ('commendare') a suggestion 'again' ('re-') — that's why a recommender is someone who suggests something.
